Or people like you only like to focus on the negatives with the kid. He's trying to do a lot by himself out there. If you expected him to play like a stud QB his true frosh year, then I don't know how to deal with guys like you.
Listen, as nicely as I can I will ask that you let us have something nice around here. The kid looks great to our eyes. For 15 years we’ve watched Sr’s with far worse field presence and decision making abilities throwing off thier heels into triple coverage. We’ve talked ourselves into bing ok with that because they are good runners, or they can avoid sacks well, or they are “fighters” that never give up. This kid can actually do it all. He reads defenses, he waits in the pocket, he can make all of the passes, he can avoid the rush and he can run too! For the first time EVER we feel we have a legitimate QB that has very few shortcomings, as opposed to making do with an athlete who chucks balls around sometimes. The kid represents the last sliver of hope for our program. He’s better than “okay” already, and he’s got 3.5 years to improve. I know you’re bi-team somehow, which is fine, but there’s a time and a place to try to talk sense into us, and it’s not here in a thread about how good our true frosh
We didn't break a record for points though did we? Racking up the passing yards doesn't mean much when it comes to winning football games.
For real, I get why people might have some questions, UCF's defense wasn't always pretty at UCF for various reasons. But they get 3 years to prove that it really is just a jimmy/joe thing. Talk is cheap for sure, but I've yet to see anything actually wrong with the scheme, just players that have been running the wrong way for years still lapsing into bad habits.
In addition this type of offense puts extreme stress on a defense if they cant score only tossing up three points while the defense gets pounded on non-stop but keeps Wisconsin to 6 points was a set up for the mess it turned into. Had the offense done its part I would like to have seen Wisconsin play from behind against a defense that got some breaks. That said the defense should have helped its self by winning an third down and getting off the field. The third down blues are just a perplexing as the teams penalty problem. Just to stay on topic I cant wait to see Martinez keep growing as a QB.
